• Probability, fractions, decimals and percentages (creating connections between...

This resource contains seventeen instant maths ideas beginning by exploring probability scales and simple probability. Students are asked to invent a fair game, to conduct an experiment using two dice and to discuss a number of statements relating to probability. Further suggestions include experimenting with three...

The workbook contains two simulations designed to help students to understand what is meant by a random process and to give some idea of the likelihood of particular events occurring.

This MEP resource from CIMT is taken from text book 9A which covers the mathematics scheme of work for the first half of year 9. Probability covers: the probability scale, the probability of a single event, the probability of two events, tree diagrams, theoretical and experimental probabilities. The initial file...

This SMILE resource contains three packs of games, investigations, worksheets and practical activities supporting the teaching and learning of probability, and a pack of activities using Pascal’s triangle.

Probability pack one contains twelve work cards with a wide variety of activities...

Designed to improve confidence in mathematics, these resources from the Centre for Innovation in Mathematics Teaching, focus on probability and were developed particularly for primary teachers and those non-specialists who teach mathematics in the lower secondary years.

Each section offers an overview of a...

This sub-collection of resources from the Virtual Text Book collection contains four resources designed for use on an interactive whiteboard to aid the teaching and learning of a variety of topics in ‘Probability’. Each resource is an interactive excel worksheet to encourage teacher-student interaction. The topics...

This MEP resource from CIMT is taken from text book 8A which covers the mathematics scheme of work for the first half of year 8.

Probability - two events covers: a recap of basic probability for one event, listing all the outcomes with two events, finding probability using listings, using the multiplication...

This resource, written by Shirley Fall, has fourteen cards with statements about the likelihood of six different runners winning a race. Students are tasked with using the statements on the cards to determine who is most likely to win the race, with what probability, and in what sequence they would expect the...

Probability and statistics, from the Nuffield Mathematics Project, starts with play activities which can develop ideas of fairness and probability through discussions on common facts leading to the collection of data, illustrating it with graphs and charts and drawing...

This sub-collection of materials from the dy/dan collection contains three resources that bring mathematical storytelling to the classroom in the context of ‘statistics’. Resources comprise:

• Act One: a video or photograph to provide a ‘hook’ to the problem

• Act Two: further...

This MEP resource from CIMT is taken from text book 7B which covers the mathematics scheme of work for the second half of year 7. Probability of one amount covers an introduction to probability, calculating the probability of a single event, relative frequency, complimentary events, estimating the number of...

This activity is produced by the Maths Magic project. Probability – Does It Clarify or Confuse? provides examples and ideas for discussing situations where probability helps in decision making, and situations where the mathematics of probability is counter intuitive. This activity allows learners to interrogate...
